A CRASH simulation of the contribution of binary stars to the epoch of reionization

Qing-Bo Ma, Silvia Fiaschi, Benedetta Ciardi +2

We use a set of 3D radiative transfer simulations to study the effect that a large fraction of binary stars in galaxies during the epoch of reionization has on the physical propert…

Investigating X-ray sources during the epoch of reionization with the 21 cm signal

Qing-Bo Ma, Benedetta Ciardi, Marius B. Eide +3

Heating of neutral gas by energetic sources is crucial for the prediction of the 21 cm signal during the epoch of reionization (EoR). To investigate differences induced on statisti…

Mocking Faint Black Holes during Reionization

Marius B. Eide, Benedetta Ciardi, Yu Feng +1

To investigate the potential abundance and impact of nuclear black holes (BHs) during reionization, we generate a neural network that estimates their masses and accretion rates by…

Large scale simulations of H and He reionization and heating driven by stars and more energetic sources

Marius B. Eide, Benedetta Ciardi, Luca Graziani +3

We present simulations of cosmic reionization and reheating from to , investigating the role of stars (emitting soft UV-photons), nuclear black holes (BHs, with power-l…

Opening Reionization: Quantitative Morphology of the Epoch of Reionization and Its Connection to the Cosmic Density Field

Philipp Busch, Marius B. Eide, B. Ciardi +1

We introduce a versatile and spatially resolved morphological characterisation of binary fields, rooted in the opening transform of mathematical morphology. We subsequently apply i…

Probing the high-z IGM with the hyperfine transition of He

Shivan Khullar, Qingbo Ma, Philipp Busch +3

The hyperfine transition of He at 3.5cm has been thought as a probe of the high-z IGM since it offers a unique insight into the evolution of the helium component of the gas…
